My daughter (3) was captivated by this shop and we can't go to Southampton without going in there now. Its not just bears - our son has a dinosaur. Yes it is expensive but I think the bears and the clothes are really good quality. Its nice to be able to buy a new outfit for a favourite teddy as they child grows up too. The staff here were lovely to our kids - getting them involved in every step. Brilliant idea for a special treat or occasion.

This is a wonderful shop in westquay shopping centre, our children love going there and picking a bear and then choosing what to dress it in and any accessories like sun glasses and handbags etc, its a bit on the pricy side to be honest but its really worth the money. there is such a bit choice of bears your sure to find something for every little one or even as a special gift for someone you love.

I think the bear factory is a wonderful place to take the kids, they just love it! And no wonder why.
You go round the shop and you choose your favourite bear or toy, theres a huge range so your shurly going to find something that you want.
Then you choose its acessories like glasses, shoes, cloths, a heart so it can live and even a voicebox to make it speak. After you have done that you go and get it stuffed!
Its such a great exsperiance for the kids and they make great christmas and birthday pressies.
Its abit exspensive but i think worth it.
highly recomended for kids!!!

This bear factory is an amazing ideas for a store .. you go in an you can choose you bear or cuddly toy, then you get to choose how it is stuffed, then you can make a wish on the heart they put inside it and can also add a voicebox too - then you pay and you get a really sweet box to carry it home in - quite expensive but really cool experience for young kids

Rows and rows of teddy bears are here, just waiting to be stuffed by the giant stuffing machine then taken home & be loved by you. The concept of choosing your bear, putting a heart inside it before it's sewn up, then stuffed and clothed is almost magical at any age! You can get completely carried away, buying all sorts of costumes for your bear as well as a wardrobe, tent, sunchair, skateboard, and much much more. They even hold children's parties here and, although they don't look that exciting to me, the children in attendance look like they're having a ball!

A very fun exciting idea, where you buy the 'skin' on the stuffed toy you want, then see it filled, then sewed. However fun this is, it is quite expensive, make s great christmas prezzies etc though

not great. really expencive bears, then you have to pay for the clotyhing to go on them. way over priced and teh bears rare rubish, they fall appart right away and are poor quality.

Kids and grown ups alike will love this store! It is a great idea, you get to make your own teddyand then 'bring it to life' by giving it a birth certificate with name, address on it etc. A fairly wide variety of teddies to choose from and many, many outfits and accessories! Mind you, the cliothes and accessories are on the expensive side, i could've easily brought myself an outfit for that price!

The bear factory gives you the oppurtunity to make your own bear. There are a number of designs and you can choose all the clothes etc that you want it to wear. The prices are quite high but the quality is superb.

A fantastic idea to make and sell teddy bears designed to meet your needs. You can choose the clothes that you want them to wear, and watch them be filled with their stuffing and put together. A fantastic gift for children or a collector of teddy bears.
